pik-(l by Mr Brown m twenty two Uftrainilian and East Ilimn- 

 iavan ]finirua£ies, add to which other Ultrairitlian aii<l many Ganwf- 

 tic langtiagca have been a.Mm\ by Mr Brown himseif, Cafititin 

 Phitvro, Mr Hodgson and others. Mr Hodgson htm adojited this 

 lisl of Biibsianllveu for Ids series of com pn rati ve vocabulanes, 

 adding to it a large number of words of other clitsscs, I have 

 nseil the toosibidanea of I he South Indian Inngiiaj^eg compihjtl 

 for liira bv Mr Walter Elliot and others, and which have been al- 

 ready mentioned in a not her [dace, but 1 have al.^o Jaken words 

 irom my own smathT com pn rati ff© vocabulary of above 300 

 words in the compilation of which all the vociibularies and 

 dictionaries within my reach have been availed of. It will bo 

 bornn in mind that the present pafser is mainly directed to phone- 

 lie and grammatical affinities, and that the vocabulary in question 

 belongs to the gloasarial branch of the Asunesian affinities 

 which will be exami!i(*d soprately. I do not of course assume 

 that the absolute glossarial aflSnitves of the Indian and Ultraindtan 

 languages will he accurately roprcsented by the resnffa of an 

 examination of Mr Brown**? GO suhstantivps!, and of the pronouns, 

 pnrtich^a and numerala which have been already adverted to. A 

 collertion of whole vocubuhiries will probably grefifty diminish the 

 amount of agreement, because most of Mr Brown's words are of 

 clasiies that are very stibjecl to diffti&ion and displacement. It is 

 total I V deficient in thofc words exprp^sive of the most generic 

 actions and attributes which ujipcar to me to be more persistent 

 than other. 



Tlje following is Mr Brown's vocabuUiry. I have added numbers 

 in ordrr to save the repetition of words in some of the comparative 

 lists, given in the next chapter.*
